layer items not displayed the same in all windows
I need help in understanding a layer behavior that's got me stumped. It's likely a new config option that's causing this although I also wonder if it's a bug. Currently: Creo 3.0 M110
The problem I'm having may be the same as in this thread although I can't tell.
https://www.ptcusercommunity.com/thread/110311
My dialog window settings:
Selected: No Submodel Layers (personal preference...I always have this selected)
Propagate Staus (have experimented with checked and unchecked)
Save status in sub models (have experimented with this checked and unchecked)
Config:
save_display_status_in_submodel yes (default)
An example of what I want: (this works most of the time and has worked without fail in prev releases going way back)
Open a top level assembly. From the top level window, select a subassy and opn it.
In the sub assy window: hide a part that is on a layer in the subassy.
Click back in the top level window. The subassy will show with the selected part hidden. (good!)
What I want: (another example, again this works most of the time)
Same as above except open a part or subassy and unhide the base datums for example.
Click back in the top level window. The visibility in the part in top level window is the same as the prev window. (good!)
What I don't want to happen..
I first get the parts or datums showing like I want in a sub assy window (or for a part in it's own window). Next, click back into an upper level window and the display has not changed. The upper level window and the lower level windows don't display the same. (sad day, not what I want)
I can work for a few hours or days then suddenly what's displayed in an upper level window seems to be controlled by the upper level window. I can't make it happen and I can't get it to switch back once it happens.
I've tried many different things and can't figure it out! Something simple I'm missing or a bug? Note: this isn't a save status issue, this happens in the context of one session of Creo, keeping everything in memory.
